Lette/rs` Patent No. 86,463, dated Februar/ry 2, 1869.

IRCPRQV'ED TABLE-CASTER. r-MM* -The Schedule referred' to in theseLetters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern: v

Be it known that I, DANIEL SHERWooD, of the city of Lowell, in thecounty of Middlesex, and, State of Massachusetts, have invented a newand improved Table-Caster; and Ido hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the same, referenceibeing hadtothe accompanying drawings,

. in which- Figure l is a perspective view. Figures 2 and 3, detailviews. Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all thedrawings.

My invention relates to' table-casters, and consists in making a casterof twisted wire, and so uniting the various parts, that I am enabled tomake a strong and beautiful article of table-furniture ata very lowcost.

To enable others skilled in the art to make my im- Y proved caster, Iwill describe `the construction 'of the same.

A A represent: the uprights which form the handle and legs., v B B B arethe rings which hold the bottles.

C is a plate pressed out by dies of the form show n in iig. 3, byl meansof which the rings and frame are firmly united together.

The parts AfA', which form the legs, are first twisted up of Wire of thedesired length, and the two are again twisted together to form the eyeorhandle D.

The bottle-rings B B are made of twisted wire, and

bent in circular shape.

The rings are secured to the plate by the ears b b on the plate, whichare made to grasp them. The lgs are then inserted in the holes c c inthe plate, the desired distance, and the ears b b bent down, and thelegs are b secured to the plate by a wie'gripe passing through two smallholes inthe ear. I

d d, c. a are ornamental pieces, in spiral form, made of twisted wire,which areA soldered to the legs. l The whole is then dipped in moltenmetal, and thereby soldered and tinued at one operation.

It will be obvious that a caster thus ,made isvery strong. The partscomposing it are few, and the labor upon the same is slight, and thearticle is produced at a ccst within the reachof' all.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim, as a new and improved article of manufacture, a table-casterconstructed of twisted wire united I together, substantially asdescribed and specied.
